Turn your source code into one or more compiled outputs
-Royale provide a compiler and a command-line debugger to turn your source code
into the required output. The compiler takes [AS3](features/as3) &
[MXML](features/mxml) (and CSS) as inputs.
+Royale provides a compiler (some call it a transpiler or cross-compiler) and a
command-line debugger to turn your source code into compiled output you can
share with users. The compiler takes [AS3](features/as3),
[MXML](features/mxml), and CSS as inputs.
-The main output of the compiler is **JavaScript** (some call it a transpiler

Flash** runtimes. There is some initial work on **Web Assembly** output.

-The code is based on the ActionScript Compiler 2.0 donated to Apache by Adobe.
The SWF output was pretty much working at the time of donation. The JavaScript
output code is a new implementation by Apache committers

The SWF output was pretty much working at the time of donation. Volunteers
working on the Apache Flex and Royale projects have created the JavaScript
output code.
## User Guide
-The Royale Compiler does many things besides compile **MXML** and
**ActionScript** into **JavaScript** and/or **SWF**. But if that's all you want
to do, you can use the compiler with **Apache Maven**, **Apache Ant**, several
**IDEs**, **NPM** and the command-line. Below are some pointers to getting
started:
